Edgewater by Courtney Sheinmel

2.0

Well... it started out interesting. A unique plot. At first it was charming and witty and sweet but by the end it was ridiculous. It’s a big pet peeve of mine when an author rushes the story to fit a lot of action in at once. I find it’s much more interesting to draw out a story. Towards the end it seemed like the author was just shoving in drama for no reason. It wasn’t consistent at all nor was it realistic in the slightest. Also not a great portrayal of mental illness, to be honest. I finished it simply to feel resolved but not really because I felt compelled to out of want. It was a strange blend of political scandal and teenage drama. Not an excellent blend.
